3 Ways To Fix "Flailing Fingers" On Guitar (Finger Independence Drills)

https://practiceguitarnow.com/speed - free 1 hour master class on how to build guitar speed without slow practice.

This video shows you how to fix flying fingers in your fretting hand on guitar.

I'm talking about keeping your fingers close to the strings when one finger plays a note.

Heads up: there is some bad news…

This problem ain’t easy to fix.

But as you’ll see in the video: it IS totally fixable once you know:

1. What (really) causes it.

2. Why most people never overcome this issue, no matter how hard they try.

3. What methodS (plural) to use to wipe it out of your playing.

All* of which I show you in the video.

(*Well, ok, maybe not “all”. If you want “all”, plus my 1-1 guidance and support on your practicing, you have to be a member of Rapid Fire Guitar Practice Training. But there IS enough in the video to make me second-guess how much I’m giving away for free. So, there. )

More:

Believe it or not, I had a pretty bad case of the flying fingers in my first couple of years of playing.

Which is super ironic, because:

I'm left-hand dominant, but I play guitar right-handed.

So, you’d think I should have some sort of immunity to this problem.

Ha!

Flying fingers was EASILY the #1 hardest guitar technique problem I ever dealt with. (Especially when trying to control that damn pinkie finger.)

After everything I tried to fix it (from making fingers stronger, to playing really slow & trying to “relax”)…

…the first thing that started moving the needle was the idea I show at 2:36 in the video.

From there, it took around 2.5 months to fully get rid of this problem, using a combination of the other techniques I talk about in the video.

I say this to show you that…

…if there is one guitar technique problem I know how to help people solve – flying fingers is it.

So, if you want some help with keeping your fingers closer to the strings, watch the video and get practicing using the techniques inside.
